2002 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt

Submitted by Casey Trauer on

Yes, the medallion has been found, but there's still lots to talk about. Feel the need for more than virtual discussion? Then join the Re-Hash Bash, Sunday, Jan. 27, at noon at Merriam Park in St. Paul.

I like the "solve the most clues" aspect, that sounds good.

Actually, the last event of the Carnival is the Vulcan Victory party which I'm actually planning on going to this year. It's at the Radisson and will feature Boogie Wonderland and costs $8. I think it will be fun. I've got about half a dozen people from my singles club signed up to go so far.

Or maybe we could have like 10 clues and several contestants. Each round the contestants are given the clue and have 10 minutes to figure it out and write it down. Anyone who doesn't is the "weak link" and gets dismissed. hehe

Allison - If you get something pulled together - GREAT! If not, we'll be plenty busy shooting the breeze.

I guess we're going out for dinner here. BBL

Sharing a true story...

Today as I left for work, I noticed a pair of earmuffs laying on the sidewalk. I was soooo tempted to check them over and tear them apart. The only thing that stopped me was the fact they were like leopard spotted and not white.

The fever has got a firm hold of me!

I don't know! That's the scary part!!! I just don't know!!!! UGH!!!!

But, Ter... This year there'd been little snow until recently... Sos, brown spotted muffs would work better in less snow...

Near a St. Paul public park, Ter? I'd have checked those puppies out, had it been moi!

However, as Mom as pointed out... I tear up any bit of ANYTHING that could possibly hide The Med. :D

Green - they were on my front sidewalk. The closest park is four blocks away.

I too was dreaming hunting dreams last night. Woke up once and said to myself that I'd for sure remember *this* one in the morning. I can't remember a thing except that thought.

I wonder if Jakey or Bee or Ittiz Eye has been up to any tricks? Wasn't moi! But I think you know I'd not have the ability to NOT pound on the door and laugh gleefully as I handed them to you! No. Had it been me, I couldn't have helped but ruin the joke!

Wonder if Inks or Daught, even Son, did it??? Nah. At least not Son. Inks and Daught... maybee. But I seriously doubt it.

DDY? Could bee. Mom and Dad. Nah. They're too sweet to...

Wait... Maybee not! LOL! I've my slide rule SOMEPLACE Mom gave me to help me with my math! :D

So, whaddya do, Ter? Put them bock so the owner could find them again? :D
